Accuracy
Today’s Status

3. What is Next Generation 9-1-1? (NG9-1-1)
ESInet
(IP Network)
Call-Taking Equipment
Next Generation
9-1-1
Core Services (NGCS)
Legacy: analog phone network, CTE, and a tabular database (MSAG)
NG9-1-1: IP network, IP-capable CTE, and GIS

4. Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) Preparation for the Future

5. NG9-1-1 Preparation: Challenges/First Decisions
GIS is Local in Arizona
Incomplete GIS Data
Local GIS view vs. Statewide View
Lack of national standards or best practices
GIS is Local in Arizona
Local business needs (not all 9-1-1)
Ripple effect
Incomplete GIS Data
Road Network for 3 counties
Emergency Service Zone and Community Boundaries for 3 counties
Address Points for 7 counties
Local GIS view vs. Statewide View
No statewide datasets
Lack of national standards or best practices

6. NG9-1-1 Preparation: Data Comparison

10. NG9-1-1 Data Creation: Developing GIS Data For Arizona 9-1-1
Data Development, Assessment and
Lessons Learned

11. GIS Data Creation Leveraging Projects & Partnerships to Meet Arizona’s Needs
Arizona Broadband Mapping and Planning Project
Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT)
Arizona State Land and the Arizona Geographic Information Council (AGIC)
Drive for the partnerships (address point and centerline data) for AZ Broadband and ADOT federal requirements.
Partnerships fulfilled a multitude of requirements for various Arizona government needs (federal/state/public demand) as well as local 911 needs.

12. GIS Data Creation: Arizona Road Network
ADOT provided road network; combines and edgematches
ADOT Ticketing System
For NG9-1-1, QA/QC:
Gaps
Overlaps
Duplicates
Parity

13. GIS Data Creation: Address Point Network
Completion of address points to support 9-1-1
Additional grant funds
477,643 total points for project
3.2 million points statewide
USDOT National Address Database (NAD) Pilot Project
Arizona and Arkansas Selected
15 of Systems Participating
Project Parameters
6 week completion
Structure point placement
Focused on parcels 20,000 sq. ft. or larger with situs address
Utilized university student intern workforce
No addresses created
NAD
Two states selected to participate in NAD project
AR presented a top-down approach
AZ provided a bottom-up approach

15. NG9-1-1 Data Assessment: Preparing Arizona for NG9-1-1
Assessment, Accuracy and
Lessons Learned

16. Data Assessment QA Tests for 9-1-1 System GIS Gaps Overlaps
Address Density
Schema/Content
Geocoding Match Rates
Gaps
Overlaps
Some as simple as clipping at the boundary
Others more complicated such as EMS boundaries issued by AZBEMS and Authority/PSAP boundaries
Address Density
Number of addresses per mile
Based on the address range on road network
Schema/Content
Accuracy
